Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Sabrina Jeffries comes a sparkling new series about an oft-widowed mother’s grown children who blaze through society in their quest for the truth about their fathers...and in the process find that love just might conquer all....

A series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher “Grey” Pryde, fifth duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Grey’s focus on expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly unconventional woman managing his stepfather’s funeral, he’s shocked to discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isn’t interested in love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady....

Beatrice Wolfe gave up on romance long ago, and the arrogant duke of Greycourt with his rakish reputation isn’t exactly changing her mind. Then Grey agrees to assist his grief-stricken mother with her latest “project”: schooling spirited, unfashionable Beatrice for her debut. Now that Beatrice is seeing through Grey’s charms to his wounded heart, she’s having trouble keeping him at arm’s length. But once Grey starts digging into her family’s secrets, she must decide whether her loyalties lie with her family...or with the man whose lessons capture her heart....

“Anyone who loves romance must read Sabrina Jeffries!” (Lisa Kleypas, New York Times best-selling author)

cringeworthy

Maybe it was the narration, making the male lead sound like an extra pompous and feminine version of Hugh Grant, but I disliked the male lead (and I actually like Hugh Grant). I was specifically looking for a historical romance where the male lead was a nice guy, but sadly this supposedly "nice guy" lead could not control himself around the female lead...he pretty much kept saying he was a nice guy, but kept getting physical with a woman he had no intention of marrying, knowing he would ruin her by doing so.
And the female lead, while a strong female for those times, kept bashing herself out loud. There was very little actual plot to the story. It was hard to get into a book where I didn't like either of the characters and there was nothing to hook me in.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
